How are you related to someone who has the same great aunt with you?
One answer:lets call them cousin Another answer:Second or third cousin, depending on how many generations back to the common ancestor.
What kin is your niece's daughter to you?
She would be your Grandniece. See the Related Links for "Kinship Chart" to the bottom for the answer. The following notes may clarify the interpretation of the kinship chart. To work out if two people are first, second, or third cousins, count back the generations to their common ancestor. For example, if the common ancestor is one's grandmother, that is two generations. If it is one's great-grandmother, that is three generations. Identify the one of the two descendants who is generationally closest to the common ancestor. For example, if one of the cousins is a great-great-grandchild (four generations) and the other is a grandchild, the grandchild is generationally closest to the common ancestor. If the generationally closest descendant of the common ancestor is a grandchild (two generations), then the cousins are first cousins; if three generations separate the common ancestor and the generationally closest cousin, then the two are second cousins, and so on. If the cousins are separated from the common ancestor by an equal number of generations, there is no "remove," for instance if both are grandchildren of the common ancestor. But if the number of generations between the common ancestor is different for each cousin, that difference is expressed by using a clarifier, "removed," with the number of removes. For example, if one person is a grandchild of (2 generations from) the common ancestor, and the other person is a great-great-grandchild of (4 generations from) that common ancestor, then the two are first-cousins-twice-removed.
What is genealogical distance?
The word “distance” when used with genealogy generally refers to the degree of relationship of two or more people. People are related when they share a common ancestor. The specific words used to describe these relationships vary from country to country and from language to language. In English, people who share the same parents are said to be siblings, that is brothers and sisters and your parents’ parents are your grandparents. The siblings or brothers and sisters of your parents are usually called aunts and uncles. Children of your aunts and uncles are your first cousins. We use the term “great-grandparents” to show a more distant relationship. Your great-grandparents would be the parents of your grandparents. They siblings would be called your great-aunts or great-uncles and their children would be your second cousins. As we go back with each generation, the distance of the genealogical relationship increases. The designations for cousins increments from first, to second, to third and so forth depending on the number of generations back to the common ancestor. As the distance to the common ancestor increases, the number of steps you need to count increases and the relationship becomes more remote. For example, by the time you account for fourth or fifth cousins, you would have to have a common ancestor who was back in your family tree three or four generations. Your 4th Great-Grandparents’ children would either be your direct line grandparents, or they would be great-uncles and great-aunts. Their children would be your Fourth Cousins. That is you have to go back four generations to find the common ancestor. Fourth cousins and any more distant, would be considered distant cousins or distant relatives.
Is it legal for a non-black African immigrant holding a green card or citizenship in the US to claim African-American ethnicity when applying to colleges. What if said person has an African ancestor?
Many people of mixed ancestry are regarded as African-American, for example President Barack Obama, who is half African and half European in ancestry. I am not sure what you mean by describing yourself as a non-black African immigrant; what is your ethnicity? The continent of Africa includes many different ethnicities, including Dutch immigrants in South Africa, Indian immigrants in Kenya, Arabs in the north, etc. In terms of having an African ancestor, chances are everyone has an African ancestor, if we go back far enough, given that the human race seems to have originated in Africa. But what ethnicity do you actually belong to? I would suggest that your college application should be honest.
What is a a third cousin?
First cousins' grandchildren are third cousins to each other.
Why would animal cells and plant cells be similar?
Because way back, they both had a common ancestor.
Why was Biff Tannen in Back to the Future a corrupt bully?

Where would you go to find out if someone was your cousin?
You need to find out if you have a common ancestor, as this is what determines if you are cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather, you are 1st cousins. If your common ancestor is your great-grandfather, you are 2nd cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather and their great-grandfather, you are 1st cousins once removed. It can get complicated, so once you find your common ancestor, come back and let us know, and someone can tell you exactly.
What would happen if the declaration included freedom for African Americans?
than african americans would have normal lives back than during slavery.
How do you determine what kind of cousins two people are?
The basic rule is: two people the same number of generations away from a common ancestor are Nth cousins, where N is the number of generations; for people who are not the same number of generations from a common ancestor, they're Nth cousins M times removed where N is the number of generations away from the common ancestor for the one most closely related to that ancestor, and M is the difference in the number of generations removed from the ancestor.This should go without saying, but you always take the shortest possible chain. Two people who have the same grandfather will also of necessity have the same great-grandfather, but you trace it back to the closest possible ancestor. Also, people with the same parents are siblings, not "zeroth cousins".A couple of examples:Two people have the same grandfather. There's one generation between them and their grandfather, so they're first cousins.Person X is the grandfather of person A and the great-grandfather of person B. Persons A and B are first cousins (one generation between X and A) once removed (1 generation difference in the two chains).Person Y is the great-great-grandfather of person C and the great-great-great-great-grandfather of person D. Persons C and D are third cousins (three generations between Y and C) twice removed (two generations difference in the chains).
Can you trace back 100 generations?
Very few, if any, people can trace back 100 generations with documentable certainty. That would be equivalent to tracing back about 2500 years. Too many civilizations have fallen, and their records, if any, have been destroyed or scattered to make that possible.
